  • Accurate

    As a resident of a national park, I can vouch for accuracy of info shared about this park. Therefore I listen for info about other parks.

    Recent episode about what’s open during the October 2025 government shutdown was particularly good.

Not a political review in any way whatsoever but if we’re listening to a podcast about national pa... more
